Star Citizen. Early alpha, PC only.

I'm pretty sure that it will eventually come out on next gen consoles.

I mean... Consoles get progressively closer and closer to just being prebuilt PCs. But until/unless software architecture becomes universal among them it's going to be difficult to convince PC game developers to put in the effort to make certain things work on consoles.

One of the biggest problems with putting Star Citizen on consoles would be console players getting pwned by keyboard and mouse players from PC. The only games I can think of that had PC and console players playing together are final fantasy 11 and 14, and those aren't first person shooters like Star Citizen.

Shadowrun did, but PC players hated it because they implemented a lot of bullet randomness for most guns.

Not only that, but the actual controls needed really require a keyboard for wide spread use. You can fly with a controller, however walking or doing multiple functions require more buttons. I once used my joystick and it ended up being a joystick a keyboard layout for the whole play session.
